A typical project for my clients has a minimum of three calenders which have 40,84 and 168 working hours per week. Go figure what the "default" calender has to be to make sense of that. For each one of them it is the feature they like least about the product.
I know of no workaround. That means that each one of us who struggle with this MUST make an enhancement request to Primavera. If enough of us ask for it - it will happen.
What we need is a column called something like "Elapsed days" which shows the actual days between two dates independent of ALL calendars.
Meantime practice your explanation of how Primavera calculates summary durations. The only thing worse than the boss spotting that the summary duration does not look "right" is not explaining it clearly and with confidence.
What I know is this that nothing can be done. And just to point a thing more. Imagine that if the different calenders have different work hours per day then you cant show the correct durations for activities.
For example one activtiy is double shift which means 20 hours per day and the other is single shift i.e. 10 hrs per day. Even if both the activties are starting and ending on the same day, the duration (other than hours) of one would be double than the other.

Duration on WBS levels respect Admin / Admin Preferences / Time Periods.

Yes, this is the way it is supposed to work.

Sorry for not being of any help.
